EVO 8 and EVO 9 gearing....
Don't tell me to search cause I did and all I got was a blank white screen. 
I wasn't aware of the gearing change until I seen someone mention it on here. Whats the difference between the two if you guys don't mind answering?
After running my car around lastnight, it seems that 5th gear is shorter and it seems to go to only 110mph.
Can someone tell me what the 8's and 9'd do in 4th gear and why the gear change in the 9's?
Thanks.

What are your thoughts/opinions of the new 5 Speed. I was comparing the ratios and I wanted to know how this affects the driving.
03-05 EVO 5 Speed Ratios
1st : 2.928
2nd: 1.950
3rd : 1.407
4th : 1.031
5th : 0.720
Final : 4.529
06 EVO 5 Speed Ratios
1st : 2.785 (higher)
2nd: 1.950 (same)
3rd : 1.444 (lower)
4th : 1.096 (lower)
5th : 0.761 (lower)
Final : 4.529 (same)
Does it buzz more RPM's at cruise on the highway?
Is the acceration in 1st gear worse?
Do you feel any benefit with the lower ratios in 3-5?
TIA!

I recently had my Evo 9 - 5spd tranny built by Daniel at Buschur Racing. I had him install the Evo 8 fourth gear to help with my trap speeds.
Evo 9 - 4th gear 118mph @ 8000 rpm (Before tranny rebuild - Stock OEM tranny)
Evo 8 - 4th gear 128 mph @ 8000 rpm (After rebuild)
Evo 9 - 4th gear 118mph @ 8000 rpm (Before tranny rebuild - Stock OEM tranny)

1st, 2nd, and 3rd all feel the same to me, but lastnight doing some spirited driving, I noticed I shifted out of 4th really soon. Anyone know the reason for the gear change?
